Same with thumbs ups and thumbs down. 

I also plan on using a quiz as my warm up during an observation this Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes! - Jason Dagenhart

Good stuff with the differentiated videos based on our assessment score. :) https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293023419 I already utilize the red, yellow green methods for exit tickets and groupings. I just found out about using the devices for white boards! Yay! I will definitely be implementing that and I'd also like to use the 1 to 5 strategy with hands and/or pinch cards, for students to self-assess their understanding and share it with me in a quick format. ]]> 2018-10-15 19:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293023419 I hope to use the color-coded turn ins or the laundry day or the 3-minute conference (especially in my smaller classes). I have used placements before, but plan to incorporate them more often! https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293027638 2018-10-15 19:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293027638 Cromwell chriscross924 https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293029146 As we prepare for the PBA, a literary analysis of a short story, students will stand in four corners in order for me to gauge their understanding of different literary techniques and narrative elements students need to know before interpreting the piece. Students who are in corner 4 (really understand) will work with corner 1 (trouble understanding) students in order to practice analyzing a short text. Corners 2 and 3 will work independently while I circulate around the room.  ]]> 2018-10-15 19:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293029146 https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293030293 Anyone else trying to overcome the hurdle of how to make formative assessments useful for apathetic students? Strategies for getting them to take ungraded formative assessments seriously?]]> 2018-10-15 19:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293030293 Formative Assessments for apathetic Students kawatkins0 https://padlet.com/kawatkins0/c69qkvhbfbp/wish/293371170 Actually, I do have a way to get students to take ungraded formative assessments seriously.  Use a strategy as a door key.  This means that until they have given you responses, answers, etc., they cannot go to the next step.  In science, this may be a pre-lab, which will determine where they start in the lab.  In English, they may have to obtain sufficient correct responses on last night's reading to move forward with their group in class.  In other subjects, the assessment may determine where they start their lesson.  I can come up with more, if others want them.
